Family:
I am married to Elizabeth J. Mustard and live in Athens,
GA with our children (2011, Christmas pictures: 2007, 2008, 2009) and more recent (2017, a, b, c, d, e). We have three sons (David
Andrew, Stephen, and James) and two daughters (Mary and Hannah), who like sports. Elizabeth graduated from the University
of Georgia School of Law
in May 2000 and passed the Georgia and New York State
Bar Exams. Since graduation she has worked as a research fellow with
the Borchard
Foundation,
an adjunct professor at the UGA School of Law and Terry College, a
visiting professor
at Mercer Law School, and an associate at a local law firm. We also
live with two dogs (Glory and Bruno) and three cats (Skinny, Leopard,
and Bad Hair Day--or "HD")

My father and mother (E. David and Joan) live in Lancaster,
NY–where I was born and raised. My father
is an independent insurance agent in Buffalo,
NY. My mother is a
first grade teacher at Court St. School.

I also occasionally play basketball and swim. In
my first year at UGA I played on two intramural champions: the
Economics
Faculty Basketball team (1998) and the Terry College of Business co-ed
Softball team (1998). Since then we have won a few additional
championships. I am increasingly spending more time playing sports with
my children and coaching their various teams.

Graduated from Court St. Elementary School in 1980 and Lancaster Central
High School in 1986 as salutatorian. During high school I was actively
involved with the Lancaster Presbyterian
Church Youth Group. I lettered in volleyball, basketball and baseball.

I thoroughly enjoyed my undergraduate years (1986-1990) at the University
of Rochester. At Rochester I was a Resident Advisor in Hoeing Hall,
a leader in InterVarsity Christian
Fellowship, an interviewer for the admissions office, played on the
Volleyball team, worked in Douglas Dining Center and Carlson Library, and
played many intramural sports. For my four years in Rochester I worshipped at Pittsford Community Church. During my freshman year at Rochester I met
Elizabeth Niles, whom I married 5 years later.

After graduating from Rochester I left for the University
of Edinburgh on a Saint Andrew’s Society Graduate Scholarship. At Edinburgh
I studied International and European
Politics. Although I received a M.Sc. in 1992, my year abroad was focused
primarily on being involved with St. Paul's and St. George's Church,
playing
on the University's basketball team, and traveling extensively. I
visited England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Belgium, France,
the Netherlands, Germany (I had the opportunity to hammer away at The
Wall),
Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia (what it was then), Bulgaria,
Yugoslavia
(also what it was known as then), Greece, Turkey, Spain and Andorra. My
last visit of the year was to Wimbledon,
with my brother and uncle, Paul, where we were part of the famed first
middle Sunday in history.

I returned to the US on July 4, 1991. On Labor Day, Elizabeth and I
were engaged. Shortly thereafter, I went to Chicago to start my first year
in the Economics PhD program at the University
of Chicago. After my first year, I returned and Elizabeth and I were
married (Aug. 15, 1992). The two of us returned to Chicago that fall. Elizabeth
worked at Latham and Watkins, Sanwa Business
Credit Corporation and LaSalle National
Bank, while I completed my degree. Elizabeth was a deacon and I was an elder of Hyde Park Alliance Church, where we worshipped. We lived
in Chicago until I graduated with my PhD in August 1997.

In February 1997, I accepted a job offer from the Terry College of Business
at the University of Georgia. In August 1997 Elizabeth and I moved from
Chicago to Georgia to start my faculty career, and Elizabeth started her
first year of law school at UGA. Elizabeth graduated from law school in
May 2000 and has subsequently passed the Georgia and New York bars. Since
graduation she has worked for the Borchard
Foundation Center on Law and Aging and has taught at the University
of Georgia School of Law and Mercer Law School. David
Andrew Lawrence Mustard was born on 9 January 2001, Stephen
Edward Carl Mustard was born on 22 Dec. 2002, Mary Elizabeth Kelly Mustard
was born on 11 Nov. 2004, and James Aaron Christopher Mustard was born
on Oct. 28, 2006. James came into the world dramatically as Elizabeth
went into labor early while we were at my brother's wedding rehearsal.
After an extremely fast drive from Charlotte to Athens very late Friday
night (after all police would never give a speeding ticket to someone
driving his wife to the hospital), James was born about 12:30 pm on
Sat--just in time for me to drive back to Charlotte, shower, and get in
my tux for Todd's wedding. My youngest child, Hannah Amanda Ruth
Mustard, was born on 5 Oct. 2009. The children are tremendous
blessings.
